*** About Black Bears: The black bear, scientifically known as Ursus americanus, is the most common bear species native to North America. These bears are highly adaptable, inhabiting forests, swamps, and even mountainous terrains. They have a varied diet that can include anything from fruits and nuts to fish and insects, depending on their environment's resources. Despite their name, black bears exhibit a range of colors from jet black to chocolate brown and even cinnamon. They are typically solitary animals, with females being fiercely protective of their cubs, raising them with little or no help from male bears. This mother and cub pairing on Vancouver Island provides a glimpse into the tender yet powerful aspects of nature’s design.
